Ok, so how then Pengy would you protect say, facial morphs from Capsces set as an example? How would you prevent people from combining say 4 of her morphs together, exporting that obj, and then importing that, creating their own "new" "original" morph?
As far as I know, there IS no way to technically protect that. But I'll bet Capsces would spot that in a second, and be be able to duplicate it, proving that it was derivitive of her morph set, and therefore a breach of her copyright.
As I said, just because you CAN do something doesn't make it ethical or legal to do. I would have NO issue at ALL with someone releasing a character set with a mor pose for that example, but I WOULD have an issue with that if the morphs were presented as "original work", and had been simply exported in one of the many methods, and then imported back in, renamed, and then made injectable.
Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
